Miami County Community Foundation Announces 2008 Fall Grant Cycle and Grant Workshop

Making the community a better place to live has been the hallmark of the Miami County Community Foundation (MCCF). Making grants to local charitable organizations is one way of providing for all of the citizens of Miami County. "We appreciate the time and effort that people give to charitable organizations," says Jenni Marsh, Associate Director of the MCCF. "These group efforts are what make us a 'community' and would not be possible without the people behind the scenes. With these grants, we support charitable services, people who use the services and those who make it all happen." 

The Community Foundation offers grants to any charitable organization regardless of their 501(c)3 status. Applications are available at the MCCF office at 13 East Main Street in Peru or at the Peru public library.  Applications are also available online.
